Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients: Leave the cream cheese at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, ensuring it spreads easily. Drain and pat dry the dill pickle spears thoroughly to maintain their crispness inside the rolls.
Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous, even layer of the softened cream cheese over the entire surface of the tortilla to ensure every bite has creamy flavor.
Add Seasonings and Pickles: Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the cream cheese layer for a subtle savory kick. If using, scatter finely chopped fresh chives or green onions on top for freshness. Then, place the dill pickle spears in a straight line along one edge of the tortilla.
Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly starting from the edge with the pickles. Use a little extra cream cheese at the end of the edge to help seal the roll securely.
Slice Into Bite-Sized Pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces for easy serving. For neater, cleaner slices, refrigerate the roll for 15 minutes before slicing.
